Huge loss in traffic due domain migration. Did I miss something from SEO perspective?

Hi, I have migrated my website https://vihara.nl to https://meditatieinstituut.nl.

I think I have done everything perfect for SEO. Still the rankings have huge drops, and so does traffic.
I have done the migration 1,5 week ago.
Nothing is changed in the content and also the url structure is exactly the same.

This I have done:
- 301 redirects from old to new domain for every url
- new domain is running from CDN (Cloudflare) with the same settings
- SSL for the new domain is set up exact the same way
- set up the migration in Google Search Console
- uploaded the new sitemap in search console (and this is working)
- updated the internal links to the new domain
- changed the most important external links to the new domain (where possible)

I believe everything is done in best practice. But maybe I missed something?
If I did not miss something, I guess it will take time before Google have transfered all the authority from the old domain to the new domain, which influences the rankings.
In Search Console there was a mention that it can take 180 days before all pages from the new domain are indexed, instead of the old domain. Maybe it also takes 180 days to tranfer all authority?
Or maybe not all autority will be transfered so I will have a unrecoverable loss because of the transfer.

Looking forwards to your thoughts. Let's hope I missed something that can be restored ;-)

Thanks!

Legit Reviews

The google review thing is insane I have gotten 2 legit verified reviews that i ask client to screenshot and observe goolge not post them, pretend like they never happened and when i sent them the image a policy message was sent . As I was browsing through the google forum a lot of ppl are getting hit with legit reviews being removed. While all this is going on i have observe a company go from 12 reviews to 65 reviews in a two month period with some stuff that dont make sense on some of them. Seems like a new business or profile is being limited while aged accounts can have a free for fall but who really knows. Still waiting for a resolution on a if any. submitted by /u/Ok-Bowl-6167 [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News https://ift.tt/zkbfgDH

Local seo vs. natiowide seo?

I've done SEO for local businesses but I recently got my first client that sells an item nation wide. ​ Any suggestions for doing nationwide SEO? ​ I am used to making geopages for local towns. I was going to do the same with some input from the client about what cities or towns he would like to show up in? submitted by /u/Letmeinterviewyou [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News http://bit.ly/2JHy0k0

7 SEO Lessons I've Learned in 2025 (So Far) - From Building a Competitor Analysis Tool

Hey r/SEO , I've been spending a lot of time lately building a competitor keyword research tool (more on that below!), and it's really forced me to dig deep into how SEO works today . Here are some of the key lessons I've learned – hopefully, they're helpful to you too: Keyword Gaps Are Gold: It's not enough to just know what keywords your competitors rank for. You need to know what they rank for that you don't . This is where the real opportunities lie. Focusing on these "gap" keywords has been a game-changer for my own site. (This is actually why I built the tool – to make finding these gaps easier). Relevance > Volume (Sometimes): High search volume is great, but relevance is even more important. A keyword with 100 searches per month that's perfectly aligned with your niche and audience is often more valuable than a keyword with 10,000 searches that's only tangentially related. I've seen much better results targeting tho...
